Summary
Milton H. Erickson, M.D. is generally acknowledged to have been the world's leading practitioner of medical hypnosis. His "strategic therapy," using hypnotic techniques with or without actually inducing trance, allows him to get directly to the core of a problem and prescribe a course of action that can lead to rapid recovery.
This audiobook provides a comprehensive look at Dr. Erickson's theories in practice, through a series of case studies covering the kinds of problems that are likely to occur at various stages of the human life cycle. The results Dr. Erickson achieves sometimes seem to border on the miraculous, but they are brought about by a finely honed technique used by a wise, intuitive, highly trained psychiatrist-hypnotist whose work is recognized as a major contribution to the field.
Uncommon Therapy is masterfully narrated by Brian Arens, an Audible listener favorite.

Interesting book
Whilst some of the examples might be difficult to relate for a modern reader, the careful choice of words and language is excellent and really shows the genius he was

Fascinating
I am currently studying hypnotherapy and am a mental health professional. I found Uncommon Therapy very much lived up to its name.
The book demonstrates that Milton Hyland Erickson was the archetypal maverick. His interventions cut to the heart of the patient’s issues, often in dramatic, creative and sometimes shocking ways. Whether the patient is aware of what’s happening or not……
Given his own unique upbringing and education he developed such a keen insight into the human condition that he had an uncanny confidence in taking the patient “by the horns”
Erickson’s therapy strips away the pontification of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and is deeply solution focussed. His approach spawned that and other schools of therapy.
A word of caution though, his work is very much of its time and could be accused of paternalism. There were times during my listening where his interventions with female patients made me bite my lip!
That said, I learnt a great deal from uncommon therapy and frequently found myself thinking “wow, that’s pretty clever.”
This is an audio you can have a genuine dialogue with. It will undoubtedly bring something to your own practice (or therapy) and at least blow the cobwebs away or get you “unstuck.”
If you’re like me; You’ll find it inspires thought, occasional laughter and will give you a new lens with which to view therapy.
